Fast facts

  • The new mother rejected the cubs shortly after birth and two of the cubs died of their injuries.
  • The remaining cub was cared for by Toronto Zoo veterinary and wildlife care staff, has grown from 700 grams to 17 kilograms and can walk on all fours.
  • Now, the Toronto Zoo is looking for a name for the cub.
